Page 19: Rain Sensor
OTHER FEATURES Rain Sensor When installing a rain sensor, first remove the the factory fitted link between the “C” and “R” terminals shown here, by the plate. Replace with the two wires from the rain sensor into these terminals, polarity NOT required. Move the rain sensor switch on the fascia to “ON”. -
Page 20: Rain Delay
OTHER FEATURES Rain Delay (Rain sensor cont...) Different rain sensors react in different ways. The most common complaint about rain sensors, is that they dry out too quickly, and allow the system to come on within hours of a rain storm. To counter this problem the controller has a “Rain Delay” setting that allows a specific delay time to elapse after the rain switch has dried out before the controller will water again. -
Page 21: Water Budgeting & Seasonal Adjustment
OTHER FEATURES Water Budgeting & Seasonal Adjustment The automatic station run times can be adjusted by percentage as the seasons change. This will save valuable water as the run times can be adjusted quickly in spring, summer, and autumn to reduce or increase water usage. Ensure the dial is in the “Auto”... -
Page 22: Special Functions
SPECIAL FUNCTIONS Current Sensing and Faulty Station Skip This unit has a M205 1AMP Glass Fuse to protect the transformer from power surges, and an electronic fuse to protect the circuit from field or valve faults. The electronic fuse has a cut-off point of 1AMP and any field fault drawing a current higher than this will cause the unit to shut the station output off and then skip to the next available station. -
Page 23: Clearing The Programs
SPECIAL FUNCTIONS Clearing the Programs As this unit has a permanent memory feature, the best way to clear the programs is as follows: Turn the dial to “Off” Press twice until the display shows. Then Press The clock will be retained, and the other functions for setting starts times, watering days and station run times will be cleared and returned to the start up settings. -
Page 24: Installation Instructions
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Mounting the Controller Install the controller near a 240 VAC outlet. Preferably located in a house, garage, or exterior electrical cubicle. For ease of operation, eye level placement is recommended. Ideally, your controller location should not be exposed to rain or areas prone to flooding or heavy water. -
Page 25: Terminal Block Layout
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 3. A maximum of 0.75 Amps may be supplied by any output. Check the inrush current of your solenoid coils before connecting more than two valves to any one station. This can be done by using the “System Test” feature. Power Supply Connections INBUILT TRANSFORMER It is recommended that the transformer is not connected to a 240 vac supply which... -
Page 26: Pump Start Relay Connection
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Pump Start Relay Connection (Water supply by pump system) This controller does not provide mains power to drive a pump. A pump must be driven via an external relay and contactor setup as detailed below. The controller provides a low voltage signal that actuates the relay which in turn enables the contactor and finally the pump. -
Page 27: Master Valve Installation
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Master Valve Installation (Water supply off mains water) The purpose of the master valve is to shut off the water supply to the irrigation system when there is a faulty valve or none of the stations are operating correctly. It’s used like a back-up valve or fail safe device and is installed at the start of the irrigation system where it is connected to the water supply line. -
Page 28: Station Valve Installation
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Station Valve Installation Up to two 24 vac solenoid valves can be connected to each station output and wired back to the Common (COM) connector. When using long runs of cables, be aware that voltage drop can play a significant roll, especially when more than one coil is wired to a single station. -
Page 29: Pump Protection (System Test)
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Pump Protection (System Test) In some circumstances not all operational stations might be hooked up. For example, if the controller was capable of running 9 stations but there were only 7 field wires and solenoid valves available for connection. This situation can pose a risk to a pump when the system test routine for the controller is initiated. -
Page 30: Fault Finding Guide
FAULT FINDING GUIDE SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE SUGGESTION Check fuse, check field wiring, check No display Faulty transformer or blown fuse transformer Single station Faulty solenoid coil, or Check solenoid coil (a good solenoid break in field wire not working coil should read around 33ohms on a multi meter). - Page 31 FAULT FINDING GUIDE SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE SUGGESTION More than one Possible faulty driver triac Check wiring and swap faulty station station coming wire’s on the controller terminal on at once block with known working stations. If the same outputs are still locked on, return panel to supplier or manufacturer.

Page 32: Electrical Characteristics
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS Electrical Outputs POWER SUPPLY Mains supply: This unit runs off a 240 volt 50 hertz single phase outlet. The controller draws 30 watt at 240 VAC. The internal transformer reduces the 240 VAC to an extra low voltage supply of 24 VAC. -
Page 33: Servicing The Controller
SERVICING THE CONTROLLER Note: The batteries do not run the outputs. The internal transformer requires mains power to run the valves. WIRING: The output circuits should be installed and protected in accordance with wiring code for your location. Servicing the Controller The controller should always be serviced by an authorised agent. -
